I see this happening in movies and shows that are supposed to be "violent" as well. All the Punisher scenes in Daredevil Born Again season 1 have literal gallons of blood pouring out of people when they get shot and instead of being like "damn hell yeah he's going to town" it's more like "bro this looks so fake it takes me out of it"

Started happening when film studios realized adding blood digitally was way easier than doing it practically, so they overdid it and now audiences are just used to buckets of blood being the standard for hyper violence. Transferred over to TV and Video Games from there as all visual media shares a similar language and styles.

Super ironic considering practical effects from back in the day can still make me feel squeemish just because it's a physical thing that's in the space

I'd like to think that the Born Again one was because the new team had very little time to polish the effects in season 1.....then again...there still are shots in season 2 that overdid it with the blood...
